Graphic Design - How to!
If you find yourself needing to create a poster, follow these steps:
1) Let me know so that I can make sure that I have the materials and can schedule a printing time.
2) I recommend either Photoshop, Illustrator or Freehand but, if you only have time to do your poster in PowerPoint then,
3) keep it simple and use Acrobat Distiller to create an Acrobat PDF file of your poster and check that file very carefully.
4) If you need help with any graphics program see me, I will be happy to help (time permitting).
5) Check these websites even before you start. I found them very helpful and they contain some of the same things I would tell you.
